Nadolo and Goneva a try away from equaling Laulau's record for Fiji

Fiji Airways Flying Fijians wings, Nemani Nadolo and Vereniki Goneva are one try away of equaling the late Sanivalati Laulau’s record of 20 tries scored in international test matches for Fiji.

Nadolo and Goneva have each scored 19 tries so far.

Goneva set up two tries last weekend against Samoa and has been in fine form this year where he won the Aviva Premiership Player of the Season Award while Nadolo is expected to play this weekend.

Nadolo last featured for the Flying Fijians in the November test against Canada last year.

Goneva also played his 50th test cap last weekend with 41 starts and has scored 95 points since making his debut in 2007 against Samoa in Apia.

Nadolo on the other hand has played 28 test matches for Fiji since making his debut in 2010 against the Wallabies in Canberra.

Goneva is expected to start again this week alongside Nadolo, Semi Radradra and Timoci Nagusa.

Fiji last met Georgia in 2016 at the ANZ Stadium were the Lelos won 14-3 with Fiji’s lone penalty coming from the boot of Ben Volavola.

The Flying Fijians will host Georgia at 3.30pm Saturday at the ANZ Stadium and you can catch the live commentary on our sister station Viti FM.
